Re: Google’s Pigeon Update Solves Yelp Problem, Boosts Local Directories - http://searchengineland.com/googles...
"It's a shame that Google responds to the threats from Yelp when Yelp thinks it's being marginalized but not when others complain about the host crowding Yelp is afforded on numerous search results. Getting 3 Yelp results is, frankly, too much most of the time not to mention the instances of 4, 5 and even 7 on a SERP. How about we fix THAT problem?" - AJ Kohn
